We believe your service choice is a personal decision. At
Markwell & Son Funeral Home we explain the options available,
then allow you to make your own decisions.
Traditional Service
Every family is different, and not everyone wants the same
type of funeral. Funeral practices are influenced by religious
and cultural traditions, costs and personal preferences. These
factors help determine whether the funeral will be elaborate
or simple, public or private, religious or secular, and where
it will be held. They also influence whether the body will
be present at the funeral, if there will be a viewing or visitation,
and if so, whether the casket will be open or closed, and
whether the remains will be buried or cremated.
 Among
the choices you'll need to make is whether you want one of
these basic types of funerals, or something in between. To

Embalming Policy
Although law does not require embalming, embalming may be
necessary if you select certain funeral arrangements, such
as a funeral with a viewing. If you do not want embalming,
you have the right to choose an arrangement, which does not
require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate
burial.
If you choose not to embalm, it is our policy to be notified
prior to transporting the deceased to the funeral home. A
non-embalmed body will be permitted in our funeral home for
no longer than 24 hours.
